Help!

So, Ive been needing a new swimsuit this summer and have never really been able to find one. Ive just been really picky about it and Ive been looking online like crazy lately. I think Ive finally narrowed it downto three. Im completely indecesive though and cant seem to pick one. So I decided I would let you guys tell me which one I should get! :) Pathetic as it is that I cant pick my own swimsuit. So I would appreciate any input you might have! Even if you hate them all. They are all kinda the same style, but different colors...I didnt really do that on purpose though...so anyways! Thanks for you help!

Smart Baby!

I wanted to take a little bragging moment, if that is alright! Makella learned something new! She has learned how to count to 10! With a little help of course, but thats ok! I was amazed. We taught her to count to 3 but that is it. Then one day she all of a sudden just said 7..8..9...10. I've Never even gone over that with her. so it was weird, but we decided to teach her the rest. I actually got a video of it, which doesnt happen very often, so I decided to post it. Sorry that its a little shaky and stuff...she was moving around a lot. Its the best I could do! Im amazed at all the things she is able to learn! Oh and just ignore the huge pile of clothes on the floor, I was doing laundry! :)

President Monson!





We had a pretty cool morning yesterday! UVSC is becoming a university and in order to do so, they had to build a bigger library. So yesterday they had the dedication of the new library. President Monson was the one who was going to do the dedication prayer. I decided that I would go and watch because I have never really seen him as prophet before. So I thought it would be cool. We were in a pretty good spot and so up in the front, so it was cool to see him. THen afterwards, we were about to leave, but Jon decided we should try and get up to him. So he grabs Makella and makes we made our way through the crowd. President Monson was giving and interview and so we were right there next to him waiting til he was done. When he finished he turned around and there we were! So he shook Jon's hand and then he talked to makella. He asked her name and shook her hand and tried to give her five and was playing with her for a minute. I was actually like one or two people behind jon at this point, so I missed out on shaking his hand and I couldnt hear all that he was saying. But Ella didnt even hide on his shoulder like she normally does with strangers. It was just so cool to get to see him so close and stuff because you dont really get that chance too often. I was trying to take pictures but it just all of a sudden got so jam packed with people that I was taking pictures over people's heads and stuff. It was crazy but totally worth it! :) Here are just a couple of the better pictures.

This is when he was talking to Makella!

It was just such a great experience! He was taking as much time as he could to talk to people and shake hands that he could before they ushered him inside. You can tell he really loves all his people and everyone there was so excited to see him. It was awesome!
